NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10

Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

Author has 304 answers and 740.1K answer views. 5y Not that I care that much either way, but it did expose a lot of corrupt game developers and game journalists. X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

Oliver Campbell Explains His Backstory & Why He Supports GamerGate

t of twee olive "Here is collected a powerful set of tweets by @oliverbcampbell, these are some of the most articulate and impacting words i have ever seen written about gaming First, let me tell you about who I AM. That way you know who you're fighting against. The story of my lite begins as being the bastard son of an Army Engineer who didn't meet his father until he was 21 years old. I was bon with Graves' Disease, an autoimmune disorder which effects my thyroid. It made me a very small kid. The runt of the litter. All of my youth was spent fighting against those who would try to pick on me, disarm me, take away my agency, my life, and my will. When I was 8 years old, bad circumstances led to myselr, mother, and brother living At 9 years old, my mother had a stroke that was so tremendous, it still affects her to this day. I was the one who had to care for her. I lived across the street from my elementary school; she would call the school and I woukd have to leave in middle of tests to go help her. My mother lost most of her education from her stroke. I had to teach her how to read and write again. At 9 years old. I was the one who had to go to all of my mother's doctors appointments with her, and physical therapy. I WAS her home physical therapist. Doctors had to explain to me, the 9 year old what they were doing to her, and I had to explain it back to her in a way she could understand. THAT is why I am an orator. THAT is the reason that I can speak to the hearts and minds of people, because i had to learn how to for Mom.I had to do these things. They were NECESSARY for my survival. I HAD to grow up before I was supposed to. THAT Is why I sound old.I kept going to school, and kept studying. I stl had to be a kid, even though I had to tackle grown, me was something that was there during A had no father, no older male role model to look up and aspire to. I was on my own. When I was in high school, I started reaching for something greater, something more. I needed to feel the worth of my own life. I had to take care of my mom, work a part-time job (at an Irish Restaurant, which is why I know how to cook), and did JROTC. Even still doing that, I accomplished great things. I was the most decorated cadet of my freshman year. I did things that no one else thought was possible, because I wanted to get those things done. I fought a LOT of bullies in my time, because I was still small. I was 52" 100ibs at my heaviest at 17 years od. I won a lot of those fights, and lost some as well. But I made sure people knew that I WASN'T THAT M----------- was Leaving high school, I'd go on to receive a post-nominal with the International Foundation for Protection Officers ame year Storms have a 50-90% mortality rate. I remember that week very cleary as I lay there in the hospital The Phantom Menace had come out, and I didn't sleep at all. I had to go and have radioactive lodine treatment to treat that thyroid condition, to repress iti shot up 6 inches in 2 months, and put on a sudden 45bs. Ask me what o grow that and ' Sucks. A tew years later, I was engaged to a girl whom I thought I would spend my life with, and I couldn't have been more wrong. A pregnancy happened, which we were excited about Until it became an ectopic pregnancy. In this case, it would have been fatal to her. Let me tell you right now, you DONT KNOW what that is like for a man. And people never ask it's one of the worst things that could happen it is a situation that is 100% out of your control and you have no ability to alter the outcome.l mourned for a long, LONG time. She couldn't stand the sight of me anymore A few years later after that is when I would meet my wife as she is known today. We were a young couple, full of bright eyes. We didn't have much, but we had us, and that really WAS, and IS enough. We struggled all the time barely enough to eat, juggling bills and school, and I had to pawn my games more than once. But all these things were okay, becau yes, but one worth d I'd have started clawing my way up from the bottom into game journallsm, because games were always the thing that was there for me. So I worked, and I toiled. I stayed up way too many late nights, learning what I needed to know, and doing what I needed to do. Ding all of this, is when I learned what my best friend was doing to his wite physically, emotionally, and mentally. I put a stop to it. Ending my friend's abuse of his wife is WHY IAM IN PAIN.t Within a year of that happening, my thyroid would stop functioning, and I would have the cancer scare in my maxillary sinus. I had to have my head on my shoulders for ALL of these things, because you don't know if you're going to have to tell your wife goodbye. Even with all that going on, i was not ready to be done with my life. Rabbit in the Road, and The Twisted World was written DURING this. Somehow I came through all of that. A little worse for wear, but here IAM. I was very very weak, and I was starting to lose strength l put my broken, painful ass on that bicycle, and I started riding. I MADE myself get strong. When I wanted to quit was when I went HARDER. Fast forward a year later, and here we are. My entire existence has been a circle of sutfering, fighting for my life, and defending and protecting others. When I WANTED to be weak and falter is when I have had to be the strongest, because no one else knew how to handle what I did naturally. IAM forged in hel Somehow, I'm still here, still alive, and still in one functional piece. me me the world to become a man, be attacked. I'm sitting here watching the thing that helped me still feel like a normal kid when I was homeless, be dragged I'm sitting here watching the thing that gave me escape to sill be a normal kind when I had to be an aduit for my mom's sake, be attacked I'm sitting here watching the thing that helped me get over and mourn failing to become a father be attacked I'm sitting here watching the thing that brought my wife and I together, lest we would have NEVER met, be I'm sitting here watching the thing that I decided to commit a life to, and to be a part of its history, be attacked I'm sitting here watching the thing that got em through that medical nightmare and gauntlet, be attacked Now you know who you're fighting. Beating the odds is what i do. Standing up to bullies is what i do. Speaking up is what i do. You people have taken a thing that has brought joy and salvation in equal measure to millions of people the world over & tamished it. You think they're just games. No, theyre NOT just games. They are the dreams and imaginations of people made whole, realized. There are people whom I will never meet that touched my soul and kept it trom dark places, because of what they created. Gaming is to MANY of us, what books are to the chronically ill child in the hospital. A place where things are okay, and are RIGHT I saw what was happening right here in this industry, TO this industry, and I decided to stand up and make myself I won't sit here and watch you tell these people they are less than human when they've done NOTHING to warrant I won't sit here and watch you tell these people that create games that they're destroying lives and culture, when Over the past 6 months of this, all I have seen is nothing but contradiction and hypocrisy at every single turn from on minorities, but ONLY the ones that agree with you You claim to speak on behalf of women, but ONLY the ones that agree with you You claim to want it to be a better industry, but ONLY for the developers that agree with you You haven't created your so-called 'safe space" for those people. You've done the EXACT OPPOSITE. You have fostered a culture of fear, anxiety, and hatred within this industry with your scare rhetoric and falsehood You have forced minonties to have to give up their anonymity on the internet, just to be belleved that they're You have froced women to have to give up their anonymity on the internet, just to be believed that they're women You have created a situation where multiple developers have had to speak through voicemasking due to FEAR of This is NOT justice! This is NOT freedom! this is a twisted and corrupted puppet show of such ideas. You've taken this lovely place, this industry that was full of dreams, and ambitions, and imaginations and turned it into a dark place. Video games have good, and they have bad. They reflect their creators in that they are flawed, but full of potential for great things. You've stolen away people's rights to IMAGINE, taken away their right to the truth no matter how ugly, and traded it for false security.l have seen you "social justice" types threaten gamers with violence, threaten their lives, condone bullying and silence dissent. YOU are the abuser. All these people wanted was to not be treated lke s---. Treated like people. To be heard, and have a right to imagine. All they have asked for is to not be lied to. They wanted the truth, even the ugly parts. And you treat that like it's a joke. I see this thing happening, and I see that I'm rather used to fighting the good fight, and m used to bullies like you. I'm not going to let you do this to these people, and I'm NOT going to let you do this to this industry.if I have to tear dow your disgusting, vapid, and poisonous ideology brick by brick by myself, so be it Im just one person, and I can only do so much. I might fail. But no one will say that I didn't stand up when it was time to do so. I'll stand up where others were are afraid to speak because Im not built that way, to cower in fear.

I'm a tough nut to crack, world hasn't killed me yet. Good luck So long as I am a gamer and there are gamers, and if they've committed no true harm, I will defend them Because, no WE, are united. We are united in a passion for the dreams that we have all shared and experienced together, the Great imaginations-ru tell you this.

You've made your narrative, now LIE in it, both figuratively and literally. Because youre doing a DAMN good job of lying already.l told you months back that the longer this goes on, the more of your skeletons come creeping out of closets. HAVE YOU GOTTEN IT YET?! Im just a regular guy. A guy with a broken body, and probably too verbose a vocabulary. But I give it gladly back to those I care about. Right now, there's a lo of goddamn hurt path to people out there, and i see who is hurting them without justification. If you think trampling over these people is the and r you are I don't care who you are. I don't care if you're a man, woman, trans, black, white, purple, green, whatever If you game, we're together.

Ashley Phoenix-Claw Responds To Jezebel's Hit Piece

My Response to Jezebel Readers and Those Who Have Attacked Female Supporters of #GamerGate Repeatedly JEZEBEL Gamergate and Its Victims Hated the Law & Order Gamergate Episode Anna MerlaRGATE TUS ed t0 Thursday 10 50m Recently the publication Jezebel produced an article about the poorly written mi the emen wi omments to the articl shown) as these highlight the mindset of the SJWs, especially to those f the GG commu ese comments were discovereda members of #Game evea The Year of Our Lord 2015 is a strange place: last night, Law and Order: SVUaired their hotly anticipated Gamergate episode, in which a Brianna Wu/Zoe Quinn mashup is terrorized by faceless gamers and the police actually do something about it. Surprise: everybody u, Quinn, the people who've been viciously trolling them for the last six months hated it ge anti-woman hate group. Their actions in this matter speak volumes. To Jezebel Ashley Phoenix-Claw Hello, I AM A WOMAN. I have been since birth. To answer your "how do you insert/remove tampon abused so I know how that works.. #GamerGate doesn't do that. And hi, I'm a woman .09 PM-11 Feb 2015 224 RETWEETS 300 FAVORITES quiz": you use the applicator to insert, pull the string to remove. It's rather simple, I'm not certain what more specifics you need unless you have some fetish, in which case l'm certain there are websites Ashley Phoenix Claw:-Hey #GameOnSVU I've been sexually assaulted physically abused so I know how that works... GamerGate doesn't do that. And hi, I'm a woman. It's just that Im oool about it, you know? I see through all that whiny feminist stuff. I'm a eool girl, what can I say. The GamerGate guys are all really swell and love having me around. We burp and fart together over Skype! I'm not like those other girls, I'm one super cool chick who eares about ethies in gaming journalism. It's hella important. But yes, I am a woman. My photos are not stock photos. l'm not terribly shy with the selfies. I'm also not a misogynist. I believe in ACTUAL gender equality. I work to give young street children an education and a chance at success because of my belief in equality. What do YOU do for equality aside from keyboard-battling the "patriarchy"? Many of your "feminist men" friends claim to not believe that I am a woman as well, yet they certainly enjoy asking for nudes "as proof" and the so I know how that works' made me side-eye. What...does that even mean? I think she wrote into Dear Prudie this week! 2:40pm I think Ashley is a man who has not been assaulted/physically abused Thursday 12:43pm It's not really that difficult for me to believe that Ashley is an actual woman, unfortunately. Whether or not she's been sexually abused is another thing entirely. speaking dumpster when I was 18. It was October, and All-American Rejects' "Dirty Little Secret" was playing. Probably the worst possible song that could have played at the time. For the last decade, l've been unable to listen to the band. When I do hear them, on a public PA system such as the mall has, a queasiness consumes me the same queasiness I feel when I smell a dumpster. Not a fun smell for anyone, but one that sends me to near tears despite having come so far mentally in ten ye Oh don't get wrong I ean totally believe it too. I've met my share of misogynist women. Thursdey 12:52pm She's a cool chick and a vietim, and she's apparently everyone, so her experiences are the only ones that ever happened. Lol at "I know how that works. It sounds like she's about to tell us They, there's an app I don't know. I still feel like I want to give Ashley the "how do you insert and remove a tampon" quiz? Answer now! Be specifie! No using Google!" I am just saying, even pretty feminist guys get sort of flummoxed on that word problem. "So I know how that works". Yes, I do. I DO know how being a victim works. You who ridicule someone as you have done with these comments obviously do not. A victim does not have some cheesy one-liner like "They leveled up". That's ridiculous. And as a victim turned survivor,I know that it's the mental health of a deranged INDIVIDUAL who rapes-not a hashtag Holy f--- get out of my Plus the odds are pretty good that's a guy. GamerGaters originally started a channel to showease all their female allies.... and virtually no one showed up, because most people can recognize a mob of obsessive misogynist whackjobs when they see one. So to fill the place out a bunch of straight white guy GamerGaters just made fake woman accounts to loudly agree with themselves that r--- threats aren't a big deal For instance, that wholesome looking Vivian James account quoted above? Not a real person. Stock photo, it's a guy using a sock puppet account. Once they got caught they described Vivian James as their "mascot. Can't imagine why anyone would think these guys have problems with women No, I'm not a man. No, l'm not a sockpuppet. No I'm not a mascot for #GamerGate. Your whole fragile world depends on you clinging desperately to this narrative, so much so that you pathetically insult any who do not comply. I for one am tired of it. #GamerGate is a belief in ethics and freedom of expression, and many individuals from many backgrounds hold this belief Both options seem plausible to me. I don't doubt that they've found a few women to be mascots, or that if they have, she might be a r--- victim. Victims process their trauma in different ways. I also don't doubt that this particular individual is a man posing as female mascot of GamerGate. I choose to focus on the patently ridieulous content of the tweet itself. It's a head-slapper either way, The "hella" really sealed it for me. I thought, Yep. That's exactly how that sort of a------ would say it But at least, unlike you, we are diverse ove

Another nuclear explosion from Campbell

Let me tell you why game developers are getting f------ p----- with you right now, game journalists, since you need it spelled out for you. These developers, the big big dogs? These people have dedicated decades of their lives in quite a few cases for people's entertainment. These developers have literally shed blood, sweat and tears for gaming. Damaged their personal relationships, their own health, and more These developers commit years of their lives to producing a thing, just so we can spend a few hours of ours consuming it. These guys fought through a hellish time in our world, where people thrived on fear and misunderstanding of video games. These developers are the people who made this industry what it is; their sacrifices are why we can enjoy a content rich hobby You, game journalists, are currently flushing away years of other people's work to try and make this industry great and respectable You want to know why developers are p-----? It's because it's one thing to see attacks come from outside; they didn't expect it from within You, “game journalists", have thrown game developers and their customers right under a f------ bus. For clicks. Game developers are going to hold you respon- sible for peddling a b------- narrative that makes them “monster makers." Many of those developers do remember the time where it was an uncomfortable situation to say "I make games for a ving." Many of those developers do remember the time where their families looked down on them for chasing their dream of making these games for us. These developers have had to suffer through a b------- mainstream media in the past doing everything to destroy this industry. You don't even realize it, but these seasoned developers? These are some hard as nails mother f------. There's a lot of s--- they don't say. These are the people who fought off every other threat to their chosen profession; they made the sacrifices, they paid their dues. And then lo and behold, look at the stupid s--- you have wrought, game journalists. You are the ones that are currently unraveling progress. The b------- you've been talking for over 6 months now? Yeah, you're talking about those developers' customers. But the fact of the matter is this: Game journalists, you are becoming more trouble than you're worth. Nintendo Direct says hello. What you don't realize is that indeed, the fire is ris- ing. Big names are speaking out now, plainly. This will inspire others to do the same If you want things to keep going the way they are game journalists, keep doing what you're doing. You're bringing your own end about. Game journalists, when the dust settles developers will still be here Customers will still be here You likely won't be Keep it up. ButI, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. Newsflash: Game developers are p----- because you, game journalists, are treading hard as f--- on their dreams. Game developers have every right to be p----- at what you've done, game journalists. Not just to them, but their customers as well. You journalists just don't seem to get it. Developers are going to turn to the people who actually support them: their customers. You, game journalists, are not a game developer's customer. You are just a business means to an end. A way to reach their actual customers. -Oliver Campbell
